I tried to keep things tonally consistent in the pop-punk/emo space, and tried to limit it to slightly lesser-known bands (I came very close to adding Eventually by State Champs, and would have loved to add some tracks by Pusha T, Charli XCX, and End It). If you want lots, lots more, I have a huge playlist post on my personal blog of my favorite music of the year.
This is a safe space, tell me your top 5 songs of the year.
